How to properly wash your hands
I’m going to discuss the steps for proper hand washing to rid the hands of microorganisms, and to prevent the spread of infection and disease. Most people focus on hand washing just in the medical field and food service workers and don’t focus on hand washing at home to stop the spread of infections. We will learn when to wash your hands, and proper techniques. Today we will learn the proper steps to effective hand washing.
People should be more alert as to when to wash their hands. You should wash your hands after using the toilet, before and after handling food, pets, coughing, blowing your nose or sneezing, eating, caring for someone that is a patient, or someone that is ill, taking out garbage, and changing a diaper on babies. All this hand washing helps stop the spread and transmission of diseases such as, ECOLI, Influenza, Niro viruses, and even the common cold. Hand washing can stop the spread by 99%.
The proper techniques of hand washing are simple and easy to remember. Step one is to wet your hands with clean running water, use cold or warm not hot this will dry out your skin and your hands may get chapped. Step two, Apply soap; usually an antibacterial soap works best. Step three; rub your hands together vigorously for at least 20 seconds, you could sing the “Happy Birthday” song from start to finish. Step four; rinse your hands under the running water thoroughly, till all soap is removed from your hands. Step five; Dry your hands with several paper towels but leave the water running until your hands are dry, then use new paper towels to shut off running water.
Once you get the hang of washing your hands, it is quick, easy and effective in stopping the spread of infections. I hope after reading this essay, it taught you the importance of proper hand washing, and how to perform it.
Good job on your essay. Very informative. I work in a nursing home kitchen so I know how it goes. Sanitation is something that I am very Passionate about. Good job! :)
ReplyDeleteYour thesis was very easy to pick out in the 1st paragraph. I love the fact that you included the importance of the reasons why we should wash our hands. Your steps was easy to follow and understand. I didn't see any grammer. Awesome job and I totally love this blog because everybody should be washing their hands.
ReplyDeleteI really love your last paragraph, it made me smile a bit!I Great job!
ReplyDeleteMy biggest pet peeve is people who do not wash their hands. I think that is so disgusting, and they are being selfish and spreading germs to others. A lot of people do not know to turn the water off with the paper towel, which is needed especially in CNA work. I remember that much from my CNA class when I was 18. Overall awesome job, there is maybe one grammar error but no misspellings!
